The present invention is directed to a microgravity dispenser system including a carbonator, metering device, and cup filler for dispensing a still or carbonated beverage in the microgravity conditions of outer space.
It is known that under zero or microgravity conditions of outer space, that beverages cannot be dispensed from a conventional post-mix beverage dispenser into an ordinary vessel or package, and that beverages cannot be poured from a vessel directly into a consumer's mouth. They must be forced out of a supply container into smaller vessels and packages, under pressure, as well as being similarly forced directly into the mouth of the consumer or astronaut. For still beverages and water, the container filling method can be one of suction. Likewise, the astronaut can suck the liquid from a collapsible container through a straw.
Furthermore, the container utilized for dispensing a beverage must be of a collapsible volume type in order to preclude the creation of an air space or pocket within the container, the location of which cannot be controlled due to the substantially zero gravity conditions.
A method and system for filling packages of carbonated beverage pre-mix is described in copending application Ser. No. 777,316, filed on Sept. 18, 1985 now U.S. Pat. No. 4,709,734, and was developed for filling pre-mix packages in outer space which is easily operated by an astronaut.
The system and method described in that copending application can be performed and utilized on Earth before the system is launched into space. However, the system thereof was designed to fill a need wherein empty permanently counter pressured packages could be refilled with pre-mix from a master supply tank in outer space which was easily operable by the crew of astronauts. The system and method of that copending application requires the pre-mix to be maintained in solution with the CO2 gas, and utilized a dip tube connected to the package to dispense the beverage from a larger supply container into a consumer-size pre-mix package. The system of Ser. No. 777,316 works quite well, However, it would be desirable to provide a sophisticated post-mix beverage type dispenser for use in the microgravity conditions of outer space for filling containers only counter pressured during filling and normally vented to the atmosphere.
Another copending application Ser. No. 049,521 filed on May 14, 1987, entitled "Microgravity Carbonator System" to Rudick et al relates to a carbonator system for use either on Earth or in the microgravity conditions of outer space. The carbonator system of that copending application is incorporated herein by reference. The "Microgravity Carbonator System" does not require a distinct liquid-gas phase separation in order to operate and includes a meter assembly which supplies carbon dioxide (CO2) gas and water under pressure to a pair of carbonation holding tanks. The carbonation holding tanks retain the water and CO2 gas under a sufficient pressure for a sufficient time in order to permit the creation of carbonated water. The holding tanks are alternately filled by the meter assembly and are alternately discharged to a dispensing means.
An even further type of microgravity carbonator is described in another copending application Ser. No. 049,561 filed on May 14, 1987, and issued on Sept. 14, 1988 entitled "Microgravity Carbonator" to Rudick et al. This application is also incorporated herein by reference. This application discloses a carbonator system for mixing carbon dioxide and water based on the principle, that if a specific mass of carbon dioxide is forced into a specific amount of water, the water will be carbonated to a specific level. A control system and an agitator are provided to aid in mixing the water and carbon dioxide to form this carbonated water.
The above described types of carbonators and filling systems have not heretofore been combined into one comprehensive, simple-to-operate microgravity post-mix dispenser system for use in the microgravity conditions of outer space.
Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a comprehensive system for dispensing either a still or carbonated beverage in the microgravity conditions of outer space.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a microgravity dispenser system for dispensing a hot or cold still or cold carbonated beverage which is easily operable by astronauts or the crew of a space ship in a quick, efficient manner.
The objects of the present invention are fulfilled by providing a microgravity dispenser system for dispensing either a carbonated or still beverage in the microgravity conditions of outer space comprising:
a container for storing a supply of syrup;
a carbon dioxide source;
a water source for introducing either hot or cold water into said dispenser system;
a microgravity carbonator connected to at least said carbon dioxide source and said cold water source for maintaining a predetermined quantity of cold water at a predetermined level of carbonation;
a metering device for advancing predetermined portions of both carbonated water and syrup to a dispensing location within said dispenser system;
a microgravity drinking cup for receiving metered quantities of either said still or carbonated beverages; and
means for filling said microgravity drinking cup with a beverage.
Further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.

Referring to FIG. 1, which is a schematic view, there is illustrated a microgravity dispenser system for dispensing either carbonated or still beverages in the microgravity conditions of outer space.
In particular, there is provided a carbonator 10, a metering device 12, and at least one drinking cup 14 positioned beneath a corresponding filler head 16. The drinking cup 14 rests on a movable platform 18 such that the drinking cup 14 may be raised and lowered for engagement with the filler head 16. A linear actuator 34 is responsible for actuation of the platform 18.
A hot water source 24 and cold water source 26 are provided within the microgravity dispenser system shown for serving either a hot or cold still beverage or a cold carbonated beverage to an astronaut. The filling platform 18 is raised to engage the cup 14 with the filler head 16, in order to subsequently fill an expandable bag 15 with the desired beverage for consumption. Hot and cold still beverages can be mixed with any desired flavoring by placing a powder or liquid flavoring inside of bag 15 prior to filling.
Alternatively, the cold water source 26 may be carbonated in the carbonator 10 by a carbon dioxide (Co2) source 20. The CO2 source 20 enters the carbonator 10 at a predetermined pressure as controlled by pressure regulator 42, to be at 22 PSI. The carbonator will be described more fully in connection with FIGS. 2-7. The holding tank 22 can temporarily store a quantity of carbonated water at 30 PSIG for later use in the dispensing system.
The metering device 12 meters out predetermined quantities of syrup and carbonated water to achieve a satisfying and refreshing carbonated beverage.
Similar to the dispensing of still beverages, there is provided another mixing chamber 28 in which the metered quantities of carbonated water and syrup are mixed prior to filling a drinking cup 14 via the filler head 16.
Also provided in connection with the dispensing system of FIG. 1 is an accumulator 38, a compressor 36, a second pressure regulator 43 maintained at 30 PSIG, a pressure relief valve 44 for use with the drinking cup 14 in the carbonated beverage dispensing location, a plurality of ON/OFF solenoid valves 46, adjustable needle valves 48, and quick disconnect locations 50 for disengaging respective portions of the system combination. Additionally, a 3-way valve 52 enables the use of more than one syrup concentrate container for a wider carbonated beverage selection. It should be noted that for clarity, only one syrup channel is shown in the overall dispenser system of FIG. 1.
FIGS. 2-7 are schematic views of the microgravity carbonator within the dispenser of FIG. 1, and having various piston locations during the carbonation process.
The carbonator 10 of the present dispenser system operates on the principle that if a specific mass of CO2 is forced into a specific amount of water, the water will be carbonated to a specific level. The FIGS. 2-7 referred to show how a carbonator prototype was actually tested on Earth. FIGS. 4 and 5 show a gravity induced phase separation. This type of clean separation, however, will not occur in space. A simple propeller agitator 56 is used for testing the carbonator in a gravity environment, since the agitator agitates the water to simulate the disorientation of the liquid which will occur in outer space.
Initially, it was thought that positive displacement metering pumps were needed to insure that proper amounts of CO2 gas and water were fed to the carbonator. The inventors have discovered, however, that the volume of water introduced into the carbonator can be accurately controlled by passing only water into the carbonator by itself and shutting off the water flow when the piston 54 reaches the proper position as determined by low (58), intermediate (60), or high (62) position sensors. The mass of CO2 gas can then be controlled by quickly introducing it into the carbonator at the proper pressure until the piston "bottoms out" or reaches the end of the piston chamber, such as shown in FIG. 4. After the piston has bottomed out and the carbonator pressure has stabilized, the CO2 gas is immediately shut off. If the CO2 gas is introduced quickly and without any additional agitation, the amount of gas absorbed by the water during introduction of the gas therein, will be negligible.
In operation, the carbonator 10 proceeds in the following sequence.
The piston 54 is initially resting on the bottom floor of the carbonator 10 as seen in FIG. 2. Vent valve 202 opens, allowing any pressurized air or CO2 gas that may be above the piston 54 to escape to the atmosphere. A water valve 204 opens, allowing still water at 32� F. to enter the carbonator 10, pushing the piston 54 up. As seen in FIG. 3, when the piston 54 is exactly half way up (to position sensor 60), the carbonator 10 will contain, for example, 21 in3 of still water. When the piston is located at position sensor 60, the water valve 204 shuts off.
Next, the CO2 valve 208 opens to allow CO2 gas at 22 PSI to enter the carbonator 10, pushing the piston 54 up further toward high position sensor 62. While the piston 54 is moving up, any gas located above the piston 54 is venting to the atmosphere through valve 2. When the piston 54 bottoms out, in addition to the still water, the carbonator will contain, for example, 21 in3 of CO2 gas at 22 PSIG as shown in FIG. 4.
The 22 PSIG is approximately equal to 2.5 atmospheres (absolute). Therefore, 21 in3 of CO2 gas at 2.5 atmospheres when dissolved into 21 in3 of water causes the water to carbonate to approximately 2.5 volumes. Different levels of carbonation can be achieved by varying the pressure of the CO2 gas from the suggested 22 PSIG. As soon as the piston has bottomed out and the pressure inside the carbonator has stabilized (which occurs within a few seconds of when the piston bottoms out) at 22 PSIG, valves 204 and 208 immediately shut off. At this point in time, the agitator 56 begins to agitate the solution and valve A is opened to provide a counter pressure at the top side of piston 54 to 50 PSIG. The 50 PSIG is significantly higher than the saturation pressure of 2.5 volumes of CO2 in water at 32� F.
As the CO2 gas is forced into solution, the piston 54 continues to move down as shown in FIG. 5, valve A stays open to insure that the system remains counterpressurized to a level above the saturation pressure.
When the piston 54 moves down to the middle of its stroke as marked by middle piston sensor 60, all of the CO2 gas will have been forced into solution. The water is fully carbonated as shown in FIG. 6 and ready to be dispensed. The total time required for all of the CO2 gas to dissolve into the water is approximately three minutes.
When all of the CO2 has been forced into solution, the agitator 56 stops agitating. To start dispensing the carbonated water, valve 206 is opened. As the carbonated water is dispensed, the piston 54 is forced down by the counter pressure which is maintained on top of the piston 54 throughout the dispensing cycle as shown in FIG. 7.
When the piston bottoms out and all of the carbonated water has been dispensed, valve 200 closes and the cycle has returned to that shown in FIG. 2. The operating cycle of the carbonator can now be repeated.
It is possible for the carbonator 10 to feed a larger holding tank 22 from which drinks are drawn into the astronaut's cup 14, or two carbonators may be used in parallel (now shown). While one carbonator is carbonating the water, the parallel carbonator is dispensing carbonated water. This eliminates the approximately three minutes of waiting time during which all of the CO2 gas dissolves in the water.
All the valves 200 through 208 may be operated manually or by ON/OFF solenoids 46. The position of the piston is electronically sensed at a low 58, intermediate 60, or high 62 position, and a microprocessor may be employed to control the operating sequence of the carbonator.
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of a positive displacement metering device for use within the dispenser system of FIG. 1.
The positive displacement metering device 12 shown, has two syrup channels 74 and 76, but the system may include one or several channels.
The cycle of the metering device 12 begins with the piston 64 at its highest point within a piston cylinder 65 as defined by the walls of the metering device 12. With the piston 64 in its uppermost position, valves 210, 212, 214 and 216 are closed and both 3-way valves 52 are in a recirculate position. In the drawing of FIG. 8, the 3-way valve 52 leading to the first syrup channel 74 is shown in the dispense position. When the piston 64 is in the highest position, first and second syrup cylinders 70 and 72, respectively, are filled with syrup and the lower portion 68 of the main cylinder 65 is filled with carbonated water. A user of the microgravity dispenser system selects a desired product and an amount thereof. In the drawing of FIG. 8, a product containing syrup #1 has been selected.
In operation, an ON/OFF solenoid valve 216 opens to allow carbonated water to flow to a mixing nozzle (not shown). Valve 210 simultaneously opens to pressurize the area within an upper main cylinder 66 so that a force of 30 PSIG is pressing against the top surface 78 of the piston 64 to push the piston down, thereby keeping the carbonation in lower cylinder 68 in solution while the carbonated water is passing through valve 216 to the mixing nozzle. Also simultaneously, the 3-way valve 52 corresponding to syrup channel 74 changes to a dispense position as shown in FIG. 8.
As the main piston 64 moves downward within the piston cylinder housing 65, syrup from the first syrup Cylinder 70 is forced through syrup channel 74 (more generally referred to as syrup piston No. 1), through the 3-way valve 52 associated therewith, and onto the mixing nozzle for mixture with the metered amount of carbonate water passing through valve 216.
Syrup from the second syrup cylinder 72 is forced through channel 76 of a second syrup piston, through the 3-way valve 52 associated therewith, and back to a syrup reservoir corresponding to that syrup flavor.
The piston sensors 58, 60, and 62 detect how far the piston 64 has travelled. It can therefore be determined how much beverage has been dispensed. When the proper amount of beverage has been dispensed, valves 210 and 216 automatically shut off, and the 3-way solenoid valve 52 associated with the first syrup cylinder 70 returns to a recirculate position.
Next, valve 214 opens to allow carbonated water to enter the lower portion 68 of the main cylinder 65, forcing the main piston up. Valve 212 then opens slowly to allow gas to vent from valve 212 as the main piston 64 moves up. It is imperative that valve 212 never vent quickly enough to allow the pressure in the system to drop below the saturation pressure of the carbonated water. As the main piston 64 moves up, syrup is pulled from both syrup reservoirs into their respective syrup cylinders. When the main piston 64 reaches the top of its stroke, valves 212 and 212 close and another drink is ready do be dispensed.
FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of a microgravity cup filler and drinking cup for use within the dispenser system of FIG. 1.
The cup 14 has a rigid outer shell and may be made of any suitable material including plastics, metal, or the like. Bladder 15 is expandable for receiving and dispensing quantities of either a still or carbonated beverage through a spout 80. A vent 82 is provided in the base of the cup 14, and the cup is designed to fit within a recess of filling platform 18. A filling head 16 engages with the spout 80 and upper portion of cup 14 to fill the expandable bag 15.
A filling cycle for the apparatus of FIG. 9 begins with the filling platform 18 down and all valves 218 through 226 closed. The astronaut or user places the cup 14 on the platform 18 and presses a product selection switch (not shown). The platform 18 raises up to engage the cup 14 and spout 80 with the filler head 16. Valve 226 opens to pressurize the interior 86 to 29 PSIG from a pressure relieving regulator through the bottom of platform 18 and through the vent 82 of the cup 14. Valves 218, 220 and 222 open to allow a post-mix beverage to gently flow into the expandable bladder 15 of cup 14 because of a one PSIG differential between the post-mix and the pressure in the cup shell 86. Because the pressure on the post-mix never drops below the saturation pressure throughout the filling operation, the carbonation of the post-mix stays in solution. When the desired amount of beverage is in the expandable bag 15 of the cup 14, valves 218, 220, 222 and 226 close. Valve 224 then slowly opens to gently vent the cup shell interior 86 to atmospheric pressure. Because the pressure is relieved gently, the carbonation of the post-mix stays in solution. When the pressure within the cup shell interior 86 has been relieved, valve 224 closes and the platform 18 lowers to its original position. It is then possible for the user to remove the cup 14 from the platform 18 for consumption of the beverage within the cup.
FIG. 10A is a cross-sectional view of a microgravity drinking cup having a drinking spout for use within the dispenser system of FIG. 1.
The microgravity drinking cup 14 shown in FIG. 10 is a somewhat more detailed view of the simple but efficient features used in the present invention. In particular, an additional vent hole 90 is provided in the upper surface of what may be a conventional can and lid. In the interior of the spout 80 is a duckbill valve 92.
To fill the can 14, the filler tube 94 is placed in contact with the outside of the mouthpiece of drinking spout 80 as shown in FIG. 10B. If the internal angle of the filler tube 94 is shallow enough, a good seal will be obtained without requiring a large amount of downward force on the filler tube 94 against the drinking spout 80. As the product flows from the filler head through the filler tube 94 in the direction of arrow 96 through the duckbill valve 92, the fluid pressure forces the valve 92 open allowing the product to flow into and fill the expandable bladder 15. When the bladder is substantially full, as shown by the dashed lines in FIG. 10, the flow stops and the filler tube 94 can be removed The duckbill valve 92 prevents the product from flowing out of the can 14.
When the user wants to drink the product, he places the drinking spout 80 into his mouth and gently bites down on the end of the spout. This causes the duckbill valve to open. The bladder 15 will accordingly contract and force the product into the user's mouth. As soon as the user stops biting on the end of the mouthpiece o spout 80, the duckbill valve 92 closes, stopping the product flow. When the bladder 15 is empty, as shown by a solid line in FIG. 10, the cup 14 may be refilled.
FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view showing modifications of the drinking cup 14 shown in FIG. 10, like reference numerals referring to like parts. Additionally shown in FIG. 11 is the use of an O-ring 98 to securely grip the bladder 15 within a recess 81 of the drink spout 80.
Although the duckbill valve is ideally insensitive to orientation, bite pads may be provided as shown in FIGS. 12A-C. The bite pads are shown in a front, side, and top orientation. The top of the bite pad is generally shown at 106, the tooth-gripping portion is shown at 104 and the remaining bite Pad structure is generally shown at 102. The user can examine the bite locations to identify where the force of his bite is required to open the duckbill valve.
FIGS. 13A and 13B are front and side elevational views of the microgravity cup 14 interfacing with the dispenser s prior to engagement with the filler head 16. FIGS. 14A, 14B are similar views after en of the cup 14 with the filler head 16. Figure a partial cross-sectional view taken along line B--B of FIG. 14.
There is additionally shown a cup hold-down device 95 depending from the filler head 16. The filler tube 94 is within the interior of the cup hold-down device 95. A cup locator 19 such as a magnet may be attached to the base of platform 18 for additionally holding the cup 14 in place on the platform if the cup is made of a metallic material such as a conventional can. In other words, he cup locator 19 initially holds the can 14 in place until the hold down device 95 secures the can in the filling position.
In operation, the user places the cup 14 onto the locator 19 of the platform 18. The user then presses the product selection button. Upon product selection, the filler head 16 having a cup hold-down device 95 descends to secure the cup in place. This prevents the user from removing the cup during a filling process. Alternatively, the filler head 16 and cup hold-down device 95 may be kept stationary while the platform 18 is raised.
The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.

Licensed since Spring 1961 when I was 13. Learned the code as a Boy Scout at age 11, then was an active SWL for a couple of years. Am now active 80 through 10, with a little 6 and 2.
I use my middle name, not John. Trust your ears, not your reading skills.
Prefer CW, mostly on 40, 30, and 20. Have 4 married children and 12 grandchildren. I enjoy ragchewing most of all.
My station is simple. An Icom 7300 sits on the bottom right. A few odds and ends have accumulated over the years, and you will see a collection of things that span decades in the operating position. That old receiver is a very nice Hallicrafters SX-71 that I use with an R-46B speaker as an SWL position. My first receiver as a Novice was an SX-71, but the one I have now is nicer (and works better).
This was me, and my station, in 1963. Ah, the Heathkits!
We have HOA restrictions, and so my only antenna for over 20 years has been a Gap Challenger vertical.
This call was first issued to me in 1984 when we settled in Virginia permanently. I got caught in the vanity call sign rush in the late 90's and let the call go. I reclaimed it in 2008, and have been its only holder, despite the lapse. There are Greek words that go with the letters in the call, and they say "The Lord(K) Jesus(I) Christ(X) reigns(H)." True in my life since 1982.
Other calls that I have held: WV2RRX, WA2RRX, WD5CIW, KB6JW, KB2ID, W4JFA.

Fourth extra-time substitute to be allowed in later FA Cup rounds
The FA Cup is planning to allow a fourth substitution during extra time from the quarterfinals onwards as part of a test for a proposed law modification.
The change, which is subject to approval from the International Football Association Board (IFAB), will see teams who have made all three changes during the 90 minutes of a quarterfinal, semifinal or final tie permitted one additional switch during extra time.
The idea of a fourth substitute was first tested at the Copa America this summer, though...

20 yr old TB mare with two different feet
This is so typical to see in horses! One foot is very upright and "clubby" while the other is flat and either under-run or foundered. The trick is to get the contracted foot to open up while getting the flat foot to tighten up it's connection. With this mare, both feet were almost dead with very little blood circulation from years of shoes and contraction. She was very shut down and depressed with poor conditioning. This photo was taken BEFORE trimming. The clubby foot has a very contracted coffin bone that probably has a lot of bone loss.
After a few trims
Still apparent is the difference in the two feet. Since this horse has only had a couple of trims, she is still in the beginning stages of transition to health. But she has already improved in her attitude and movement.

Reality TV: Remaking Television Cultureby Susan Murray, Laurie Ouellette

Survivor. The Bachelor. Extreme Makeover. Big Brother. Joe Millionaire. American Idol. The Osbournes. It is virtually impossible to turn on a television without coming across some sort of reality programming. Yet, while this genre has rapidly moved from the fringes of television culture to its lucrative core, critical attention has not kept pace.
Beginning by unearthing its historical roots in early reality shows like Candid Camera and wending its way through An American Family, Cops, and The Real World to the most recent crop of reality programs, Reality TV is the first book to address the economic, visual, cultural, and audience dimensions of reality television. The essays provide a complex and comprehensive picture of how and why this genre emerged, what it means, how it differs from earlier television programming, and how it engages societies, industries, and individuals. Topics range from the construction of televisual "reality" to the changing face of criminal violence on TV, to issues of surveillance, taste, and social control.
By spanning reality television's origins in the late 1940s to its current overwhelming popularity, Reality TV demonstrates both the tenacity of the format and its enduring ability to speak to our changing political and social desires and anxieties.

Posted on 10/27/2011 3:12:30 PM PDT by smokingfrog
When the people who make Necco Wafers changed their recipe to use natural flavors and colors in 2009, they thought they were doing their customers a favor. But then those customers told the New England Confectionery Company loudly, and repeatedly that they preferred artificially enhanced candy.
"Our normal mail volume probably went up twenty-fold" after the change, says Necco Vice President of Research and Quality Jeff Green says. "Some positive, and some negative. But a lot of negative."
The common theme from Necco's longtime customers, Green tells NPR's Michele Norris, was, "You ruined my product, I will never buy anything from you again."
"Ouch," Norris says.
"Yes, ouch," Green says.
And so the company is going back to what it does best: making candy with artificial dyes and good old-fashioned sugar
As Green describes it, customers weren't as upset with the candies' taste as they were with their new color. Instead of artificial dyes and colorings, the revamped Necco wafer used natural colorings made from turmeric , red beets, purple cabbage, and cocoa powder. The company also replaced the artificial flavors in some of the wafers with natural flavors.
"The flavors, I thought, were very close, if not identical," says Green. "I mean, considering that four of the flavors, we didn't touch. So, the colors influence people's perception of what things taste like."
(Excerpt) Read more at npr.org ...
Maybe they can make back the money they lost by charging $8.00 extra for unlimited streaming Necco wafers.
Companies should heed the experience of New Coke.
people actually eat those things?
I don't think I've had a Necco wafer in at least 2 years but I love them. Just don't see them that often around here. Time to go on a search, the Wookie be da**ed.
I have had the things in my life, and in my opinion they are nasty. But if I ever need to hold open a traincar window, I will know what to do!
Bring back Classic Chalk.
I think I found the source of the discontent...
(My mother loves red beet soup, aka borscht. I can't stand the stuff.
Never could, probably never will. Unless, of course, the bamster
reduces us to foraging for root vegetables, and eating beets will
beat eating bark every time.)
Absolutely my favorite candy as a kid..we used to call them nickel wafers...because they cost 5 cents a roll. They lasted a long time...which was a great selling point for me...a roll of nickel wafers could last all day and sometimes even into the next. Loved the green ones the best.
Maybe a few months from now when I can be sure the "healthy" ones aren't on the shelf I'll try them again.
I once bought a car on the basis where you can slide a pack of Necco wafers on the dashboard. My friend had a 1985 Ford LTD, the small one, where it had a groove on the dashboard. I had to tie my shoe so I put the pack in the groove. He took a hard turn and they slide all the way towards him and down to the floor of the car and we had a good laugh. When I bought a small LTD, it was a 1986 model, much like his but mine was more basic, but it had that groove. We used to play "Necco games" where we tried to slide it without having it drop to the floor. It was a blast. B-) I miss that car for other reasons. It had rear wheel drive but I've beaten 4x4's climbing up over hills with snow and ice and many times, I can plow through snow over 12 inches deep and still move. Wish I had that car back again.
Yes, I remember them as a kid, too.
Now, the chalky candy is way too similar to eating fruit flavored Tums.
The perfect wafer to play Holy Communion!! We Catholics just ate this stuff up.
I tell you what, I was one of those who complained about their new "flavors". They are NASTY....like Mexican candy. yuck.
I hope they DO bring back the original classic "chalk" flavors. I liked them.
Green was always my favorite, as well. The white and pink ones come fairly close. The black ones are gross.
Neccos were one of my favorite candies when I was a kid. I loved candy cigarettes, too. Then there were the wax lips... Candy is a lot like cartoons, I guess. The more imaginative, flavorful ones seem to have all been made decades ago. I'm glad Necco is going back to their traditional recipes.
I knew they still sell them, I have to confess I thought they stopped making them in 1972.
I kid!
Of course, our tastes were a little less refined in those days.
The colored rolls made me nauseous, but I'd crawl over ground glass for the all-chocolate rolls. Fortunately; most corner stores carried them back in the 60's and 70's.
And Netflix.
New coke is old news but relevant.
The most recent dumb-@$$ move by a company is Netflix.
It could go down as the all time dumbass move.
I know coca cola is bigger but when you lose 800,000 people that were paying you (and would continue to pay you probably until a new technology emerged) $10 a month and you lost them in a matter of a month or two.
The company's headquarters are (were?) in Cambridge, MA. I remember seeing a large "NECCO" sign to this effect and realizing that the name of the candy was an acronym for the company's name.
Doing business in anti-business commonwealth of Massachusetts — particularly in ultra-liberal Cambridge — must be a daunting experience, even for a long time New England institution like NECCO. One wonders whether the traditionalists will win out over those favoring the less tasty natural flavors and thereby save the product. The new flavors and colors have been in effect for at least two years despite 20:1 complaints from customers.
Maybe the Boston "Occupy" people should march on NECCO and demand a change back to artificial colors and flavors.
Note the dyes were artificial, but the sweetener was real sugar.
The new nasty taste didn't come from the vegetable dies - they used those "all natural" dies to cover up something hideous that they replaced the SUGAR with.
10-to-1 they shifted to aspartame, to make naturally dyed poison disks.
gotta eat 'em. they don't work in the toll-booths anymore.
Chocolate was my favorite, as well. I used to despise the black ones, that a previous poster mentioned. I haven't had them in years. I get them occasionally when I go to Maine to visit.
What is up with all these companies ruining products that people like? I recently ate a nestle crunch bar and spit it out it tasted so bad. I've had to stop buying so many snack foods in the past few years.
"people actually eat those things?"
Oh gosh, my dad used to buy them for us all the time.
They were great to use for Communion for playing "church".
"I loved candy cigarettes, too"
We used to be able to get, at just this one store, some Chocolate cigarette that were just fabulous. They had some gold paper filter type thing on them, they were just elegant and good chocolate too.
Now, here is my real candy question: whatever happened to Turkish Taffy?
I checked NECCO's website - they were in Cambridge but moved to Revere. Cambridge is so "Moonbat" - there is one company I know of there that I get a chuckle it's in Cambridge...
Mayflower Poultry - Live Birds, Fresh Killed
And they really do slaughter chickens and turkeys in the backroom - must drive the Moonbats - batty - lol

Concerns about a maths teacher and his relationship with teenager Megan Stammers were already under investigation before they went missing together last Friday.
On Tuesday, police released images of Jeremy Forrest, 30, with Megan on board a ferry to France.
Megan's mother and stepfather made an emotional appeal for her to return home at a news conference on Monday.
East Sussex Police are urging Mr Forrest to "do the right thing" and make contact with them.

Pitch Perception of Frequency-Modulated Tones
Results of research on pitch perception of frequency-modulated tones are presented in the paper. The experiment was done for six tones of various frequencies, with three modulating frequencies. It turned out that frequency deviation does not influence a pitch perception in some particular way, i.e. there is no relation between the standard deviation of obtained results, and frequency changes.

Music to Your Ears
By Jessica Cassyle Carr
My Name Is Albert Ayler
Listening to free jazz is like gazing into a world beyond reason, lacking discernible form--it's what emerges from the human brain before being rendered by any structural or harmonizing filters, a musical stream of consciousness. This cacophony can also be downright stressful. While challenging, such chaos has the potential to reward its listener with momentary glimpses into unseen transfigurations of existence.

This live, two-CD release chronicles the energetic, contemporary sound of the dodecatet 10 years into its existence. Pianist/composer/arranger Lindner, who contributes six of the nine original compositions, has created a big band for the modern age. He pulls from Afro-Cuban, bebop, free jazz and Middle Eastern traditions, among others, to tailor tunes to his personnel. Though it has the punch and power, the textures and polyphony of a big band, this aggregation also has the nimbleness and elasticity of a small combo, with lively ensemble playing and adventurous soloing. Here's hoping Lindner can keep it together for another 10 years. (MM)

Dance gatecrashes the museum
Centre Pompidou

"Dance" and "museum" are concepts with an uneasy relationship. Museums—with their freight of the past, of historical artefacts and traditions to be collected rather than questioned—have a purpose that cuts against the imaginative, creative, time-sensitive grain of dance performance. Dance companies never like being called museums; rather, they imagine themselves as living, regenerating artistic organisms.
Leaving aside the question of why tradition may be less a burden in dance than in painting, the act of staging dance performances in a museum or gallery throws out a challenge. It shakes up the maker, viewer and venue. It jettisons the stage, the frame, the viewpoint, the timescale—and the expected relationship between creators and audiences. It says: let's think.
The celebrated Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker, in a new production opening this month called Work/Travail/Arbeid at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, aims to explore the implications of surrendering her work to a museum exhibition. By extending the usual theatrical time conventions to a ten-hour scale, segmented over nine days, her work seeks to upend expectations. Spectators will come and go. They will choose where to be, how long to watch. They could miss 90% of the work if they only come once. Maybe 99% of them will not see the full performance.
Sounds radical? But fashion has always favoured the gatecrashing of staid galleries by wildchild dance. The Soviet Constructivists turned dancing bodies into exhibits. Jean Cocteau's 1917 Ballets Russes ballet, Parade, made Pablo Picasso's Cubist costumes the stars. Merce Cunningham and John Cage insisted on equality with their visual collaborators, such as Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol. (This approach is due to be showcased at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, in February 2017 in the exhibition Merce Cunningham: Common Time.) The German tanztheater inventor Pina Bausch, whose oeuvre is being treated to a lecture series in Bonn's Bundeskunsthalle in March, turned her performers, unsettlingly, into interrogators of the audience.
Location is key in the "how" of watching. The theatre separates performers from viewers like a picture frame. The experience is time-defined. But the character of museums and galleries is dictated by their contents and how they are prized; you can stare at them a little or a lot and repeat your viewings until you feel something—an idea entirely alien to dance. Many choreographers say that dance never truly exists beyond the moment, beyond an interpreter's choice with the script, beyond a spectator's choice to receive or blank what is in front of them. Museums and galleries are mute places, teeming with silent, still life, offering eternal reconsideration; dance is ephemeral, noisy. It invades and it vanishes. Nothing is left.
For the venues, the central difficulty is how to show the importance of a dance event in their canon (and budget) as something more than a PR event. Britain's cavernous Tate Modern regularly features dance "happenings", always attracting a sense of novelty, an occasion to be shared and puzzled over later. (Cunningham actually preferred the word "event" to describe his danceworks.)
In that sense, dance's unpredictability may be, counter-intuitively, its value to the venue. Sometimes dance is a complement to its host, the choreography decorating and commenting on the location, like Stephan Koplowitz's site-specific work at London's British Library and Natural History Museum. Sometimes it thumbs its nose, as in Trisha Brown's gravity-defying roof pieces. Sometimes it bounces of the works of art, like the Royal Ballet's Titian-inspired 2012 National Gallery collaboration Metamorphosis.
But De Keersmaeker is particularly interested in visualising something that defies visual record: the conflicts of time. In her 1982 duet Fase, two women dance the same sequence in gradually differing tempi so that unanimity goes through discordancy into counterpoint, and the gradual reconvergence becomes a climactic provocation. Is this a willed convergence or is it objectively predestined by the operating principle? When De Keersmaeker lets her art-brain speak to her theatre-gut, it can be an arresting experience. But will the public have the patience to follow her all the way?

The color was really off. I was expecting a soft, dusty blue and a cream color. That's not what it is, it's a brighter blue and a beige/tan color. Also a little disappointed in the "heftyness" of the rug. Would be great for outside, but not an inside rug at all unless maybe you're putting it over carpet. I'm sending it back and will try again.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Not very well. The blue was a much brighter blue than I expected and I thought the bone color would be a slightly darker cream color - it' more of a beige/tan color. Not what I wanted.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality is fine if you're really looking for an outside product. It's very thin, no softness to it all, again fine for outside, but not inside.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Except for the color it was fine.
Not what I had expected. The edges completely frayed after only 2 years outdoors, and this is in an area that has furniture over it. I'm not impressed with the quality.
I purchased this rug, but then ended up ordering some new furniture and the fabric on the cushions was not going to coordinate with the rug. We looked at the color, which looked good, but never even unwrapped the rug since we could tell that the color and pattern were not going to work. Had we not gotten the new furniture, I believe that the rug would have been great for the screened porch we were going to use it in.

A Non-Technical Look inside the EXT2 File System
Everyone wants a fast computer; however, not everyone realizes that one of the most important factors of computer performance is the speed of the file system. Regardless of how fast your CPU is, if the file system is slow, then the whole computer will seem slow. Many people who have very fast Pentium Pros with slow disk drives and even slower networked file systems rediscover this fact daily.
Linux has a very fast file system called the Extended File System Version 2 (EXT2). The EXT2 file system was created by Remy Card (email@example.com).
There are several objectives when deciding how to lay out data on a disk.
First and foremost, the data structure should be recoverable. If there is an error while writing data to the disk (like a user pulling the power cord), the entire file system should not be lost. Although losing the data currently being written is sometimes acceptable, losing all the data on the disk is not.
Second, the data structure must allow for an efficient implementation of all needed operations. The hardest operation to implement is normally the hard link. When using a hard link, there is more than one directory entry (i.e., file name) that points to the same file data. Accessing the data by any of the valid file names should produce the same data.
Another hard operation involves deleting an open file. If an application has a file open for access at the same time that a user deletes the file, the application should still be able to access the file's data. The data should not be cleared off the disk until the last application closes the file. This sort of behavior is quite unlike DOS/Windows, where deleting a file results in immediate loss of access to that file by any application in the process of reading/writing to it. Applications exhibiting this type of Unix behavior are more common than one might think, and changing it would cause many applications to break.
Third, a disk layout should minimize seek times by clustering data on the disk. A drive needs more time to read two pieces of data that are widely separated on the disk than the same sized pieces located close to each other. A good disk layout can minimize disk seek time (and maximize performance) by clustering related data close together. For example, parts of the same file should be close together on disk and, also, near the directory containing the file's name.
Finally, the disk layout should conserve disk space. Conserving disk space was more important in the past, when hard drives were small and expensive. These days, conserving disk space is not so important; however, one should not waste disk space.
Partitions are the first level of disk layout. Each disk must have one or more partitions. The operating system pretends each partition is a separate logical disk, even though they may share the same physical disk. The most common use of partitioning is to place more than one file system on the same physical disk, each in its own partition. Each partition has its own device file in the /dev directory (e.g., /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2, etc.). Every EXT2 file system occupies one partition, and completely fills it.
The EXT2 file system is divided into groups, which are sections of a partition. The division into groups is done at the time the file system is formatted and cannot change without reformatting. Each group contains related data. A group is the unit of clustering in the EXT2 file system. Each group contains a superblock, a group descriptor, a block bitmap, an inode bitmap, an inode table and finally data blocks, all in that order.
Some information about a file system belongs to the file system as a whole and not to any particular file or group. This information is stored in the superblock, and includes the total number of blocks within the file system, the time it was last checked for errors and so on.
The first superblock is the most important one, since it is the first one read when the file system is mounted. The information in the superblock is so important that the file system cannot be mounted without it. If a disk error occurred while updating the superblock, the entire file system would be ruined; therefore, a copy of the superblock is kept in each group. If the first superblock becomes corrupted, the redundant copies can be used to fix the error by using the command e2fsck.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Project Description
When I draw a trend line on the chart, buy or sell as it comes within certain points on the line
Trade once upon approach of the line, if it moves away from the line leaving a gap of a certain number of bars and it creates a lower low or higher high with a certain number of bars then again comes up to the line trade again (must have a lower low or higher high). Allow this to happen a certain number of times
Stop loss and take profit as a variable.
